John McCain Working with 'Hate Group' Family Research Council to Roll Back or Block 'DADT' in 2011
Writes hate group leader Tony Perkins, of the Family Research Council, in the group's holiday update:

"As for FRC, who will take great pleasure in seeing this lame-duck finally limp out of town, we'll be spending the next couple of weeks reassessing the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' debate. In fact, I've already been in conversations with Hill leaders about holding hearings in the New Year, as well as statutory and legislative oversight steps that can be taken to turn back aspects of the repeal and slow down--if not stop--the rest. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and others will be working with FRC to put a strict evaluation process in place. We want to ensure that the Pentagon is monitoring the effect of this radical change on the men and women in harm's way. One way to do that is demanding specific measurables--like tracking the sexual assaults, dips in recruitment and retention, combat distractions, and more. If there's the slightest disruption to the military's mission, you can bet that FRC will be on the Hill, demanding to revisit this repeal. And unlike the Senate Majority Leader, we won't consult Lady Gaga first."

1. I guess the massive increases in hetero sexual assaults hasn't disrupted the
military mission any.

3. McCain is and idiot. I think he still has a chance at winning the primary
in 2012. He is playing to the teabaggers.

4. I doubt that. Because McCain's Alzheimer's or Dementia hasn't kicked in yet.
